Is it possible to lower my brows to get straight brows that are near horizontal?
Answer: Brow lift Hello slickThe specific procedure your brow lift entails will depend on your needs. Factors such as whether entire brow or only the outer brow is to be raised, repositioning of the hairline, and the patient’s individual facial contours will determine the placement and extent of the incisions.

Answer: Brow Lift Thank you for your question. A brow lift is capable of lessening the creases that have developed on your forehead. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn more about your candidacy. Best wishes,

Answer: Making brows more horizontal? Your eyebrows need to be raised in the center to give you a less angry and old appearance. This should NOT be done with it incision near the eyebrow itself since these heal quite poorly. It should be done by a very experienced surgeon who can use the Irregular Trichophytic Incision which will have hair grow through the scar so it is not seen. Make sure you see the surgeons final photo close-up of the hairline before proceeding with this. The surgeon should have a lot of experience doing this technique. If it were done endoscopically it will raise your hairline which male patients do not want.

Answer: The muscular imbalance is the key While the brow can be lowered, your problem is more of a muscular imbalance. Muscles lower the brow (corrugated, procerus, depressor), and muscles raise the brow (frontalis). The basics for this were worked out in 1852 by Duchenne. There is an "agonist/antagonist" relationship with these muscles. In your case the dominance of the muscles that "scrunch" the medial brows down are responsible for your brow position not being straight and the "angry" look that you have. One brow is also higher than the other. That may be a natural imbalance, or you may be a "unilateral brow lifter". This needs to be taken into consideration. It is essential to evaluate you "in motion". It is probable that an endoscopic approach will work for you. The brow can be "shaped". You can simulate this with Botox injections into the proper muscles. The Botox may not give the exact results, but you might get an idea of the changes.

Answer: Brow lift Hello,While you may consider lowering your brow, I think you would be best served by having a brow lift. This can be done endoscopically or via a direct incision at your brow hair line. If you look at the web link provided, go to case # 2302. While he had many other things performed, his brow position was an issue for him. Raising his brows helped with the heavy look of his eye region. His eyebrows were still horizontal after surgery. Hope this helps.Sincerely, Dr. K
